Universal Front Wheel Motor Kit Installation

Our universal front wheel motor kit fits most all types of bikes. On the trike the battery mounts either in front of the rear basket or insider the basket. On the bike the battery mounts onto the bike rack (luggage carrier not included).

Note: The electronic board connection to the battery is the last wiring connection you should make.

For Safety’s Sake Always Wear a Helmet When Riding

Installation of Bike Battery

Do not connect battery wires from the electronic board to the battery yet. The battery connection is the last wiring connection you should make. If for any reason you have to go into the battery bag to check anything make sure you disconnect the black ground battery connections first. When all connections are made to the electronic board, then you can put the black battery wire in place.

Place battery on bike rack. Battery is secured to bike rack by pulling straps underneath the rack and clasping the buckle. Then pull on the strap to tighten. For extra security you can purchase 1 or 2 small bungee's with hooks on both ends and attach bungee in the same direction as the strap if needed.

Installation for Trike Battery

The battery can be mounted in or in front of rear basket. Battery is secured to rear basket by pulling straps through openings in basket and clasping buckle and tightening strap.

Motor Installation for Front Wheel Models

Important: Motor must be mounted on right side of bike. Locate the hole at top of the fork of the bicycle or the tricycle. Simply mount bracket over the hole, align the drive wheel of the motor to be parallel with the tire so that it makes contact with the tire but is not pushing down hard against it. Depending on the bike, some slight bending up or down on the bracket may be needed to achieve proper contact. Tighten the single screw from the rear of the fork through the hole to the bracket securely. Attach bungee cord to the fork with tie straps. Don’t pull bungee too tight. It only needs about 2 lb of pressure so the drive wheel does not slip. Bikes or trikes that have front fenders, the fender must be removed or cut just in front of where the bracket is mounted. Installation is complete.

In bikes with hand brakes, the front brake assembly uses this hole. Remove the bolt holding the brake assembly & slide the assembly forward. Place the mounting bracket in front of the fork, but behind the brake assembly. Making sure the drive wheel & tire are properly aligned (as described above). Insert & tighten the bracket & brake assembly using the new longer bolt supplied with the motor unit Installation is complete.

Rear Wheel Model

Locate the area behind the rear upright support tube (holds the seat), & the 2 rear axle support tubes (goes from rear axle to top of rear upright support tube). Remove the rear of motor mounting bracket & place the unit so the motor rest in the gap between the rear axle support tubes & the rear upright support bar. Place rear of mounting bracket on opposite side of support bar, so the front & rear of bracket halves grab the supporting bar. Make sure to align the drive wheel of the motor to be parallel with the tire so that it makes contact with the tire but is not pushing down hard against it. Tighten securely using the 2 mounting bolts Installation is complete.

Trigger Assembly Installation

Location will be determined on type of bike or trike installation being done. Trikes & ALL bikes with hand brakes must install the trigger on the left handlebar to avoid interference with using the front brake as the front hand brake is always first used. Interference in proper application of the brake could result in serious injury or safety hazard. Location of the trigger on Cruiser types can be on either side.

Find the place on the proper side of the handlebar that feels comfortable to reach & allows good hand placement around the handle grips, while not interfering with hand brake operation. Attach the trigger using plastic tie wires. Closely trim plastic tie wires removing any sharp edges after cutting.

Use additional plastic tie wires to hold the wiring close to the handlebar & frame of the bike or trike but loosely enough not to interfere with free movement of handlebar when turning the bike or trike. Start the attachment from behind the trigger & back to the battery pack. Should you find any extra lengths from the trigger wire simply coil it up & secure it with a plastic tie wire. It will safely tuck away inside the battery bag.

NOTE: The electronic to the battery connection is the last wiring connection you should make.

Remember you must pedal first and then press the switch
